The race report of the first Challenge

Many duels, overtaking maneuvers and friction ensured action-packed races on both Saturday and Sunday. The pilots of the Racer and Challenger League fought for the first points of the season on the Red Bull Ring. Most successful in the Challenger League was David Cid. The runner-up from last year started the race from position 6 and showed a flawless performance. He scored 25 points and 500 Swiss francs in prize money.

The other podium places were also occupied by winners, namely the winners of our "Fit & Fast with Ralf Moeller Challenge". Siro Zambra on rank 2 and Thomas Herzog on rank 3 showed very strong performances and both stood on the Challenger League podium for the first time. For the next race in three weeks we can be curious if they have to continue this strong performance, because both of them have to start from almost the very back due to the new format of the Knock-Out Qualifying. Tanja unfortunately could not qualify for the race and Tabea postponed her first race participation to another challenge.

Javier Loro is also unstoppable in the Racer League. The Spaniard wins the opening round of the "Championship 2022 - Beyond the Pinnacle" and thus secures a record prize money of 3,500 Swiss francs for the day's victory. The winner of last year's Challenger League showed his skills in duels with, among others, newcomer and sim racing pro Marc Gassner, who started from pole position. After the overtaking maneuver, Loro drove towards an unchallenged victory at the front and thus stands at the top of the standings as he did all last year. Behind him, Angelo Michel from Bavaria drove to position 2 and thus took a podium place in the Racer League for the first time.
